Title: Storage bins
Post by: johnrm on July 29, 2014, 08:55:19 AM
Does anyone have a source for Plastic drums for storage?
I need something that will keep the critters out.
200L blue barrels?

When I'm ordering that sort of stuff at work I use one of these two;
www.slingsby.ie
www.key.co.uk
Because it's work, I'm not sure how competitive they are price wise, but there's a good selection there so should give you somewhere to start.

Hi John.

I can probably spare one of the big plastic drums that I use for keeping malt in. Now that I am back to regular size brewing I don't need the same amount of grain storage. You can either give me €20 or alternatively wire up one of the STC's that I have sitting around? As current one being used in keggerator, so I want to setup a second fridge for fermenting in.

Worrying yo an STC sounds like a deal. Have you got the STC?

Sound.
I will need to do a 'site survey' first.
(...and relieve you of the storage bin while I'm there)

John. I see the deal is done with Taff but if you want more there's a guy in Roscrea that does them.

You can wire my shed for me while you're at it John.
I'll give you a heap of cracked builder's buckets, barely crusted with cement at all!

I'm good thanks, Damo. Just need one to keep the meeses out.
@Eoin, could do, wiring is not that hard. You can hold on to the buckets, you can use then as fermenters

RichC has some bats if you're interested? I'm sure they'd make a home out of your new brew shed  :P

I'd be interested in one of those blue drums myself. Herself goes all sectarian when I suggest adopting a kitty  ::) I think I saw an ad on donedeal ages ago, some guy who used to visit you're local cattle mart with the blue drums. Can't find it now but it may be the same fella that's in roscrea?

Feckin lesser horseshoe bats held up planning on a house we were building a few years back.
